The Gypsy King’s Daughter – The Story of My Life
Karoli, Solomia: Sigøynerkongens datter
Solomia Karoli, daughter of the “gypsy king” Polykarp Karoli, presents an amazing life story. She was born in a gypsy camp in Oslo in 1962. The next year, she was left in an orphanage in Germany, and until present day she has had a dramatic and volatile life. THE GYPSY KING'S DAUGHTER is a gripping story unlike any other. The book is also an indignant work of accusation – against Norwegian authorities for their treatment of gypsies, and against some of her own people because they are stuck in a destructive past instead of building a better future for the next generation. Based on hard-earned experiences, Solomia Karoli gives specific advice to those who determine the fate of the gypsy minority.
This is Karoli’s first book, and the first autobiography by a Norwegian gypsy.
